MIDI (PSR-310 only)
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard commu­
nication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and
equipment to share musical information and control one another. This
makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equip­
ment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with
isolated instruments.
You will need a MIDI cable if you want to connect the PSR-310 to an­
other MIDI device.
The PSR-310 features two MIDI modes; Remote Control and Multi.
The Remote Control Mode
The Remote Control mode can be used to let the PSR-310 control other
MIDI devices, or it can be used to let other devices control the PSR-310. It
allows you, for example, to record your PSR-3 lO’s performance data on a
sequencer or you could play the Accompaniment of the PSR-310 from a
master keyboard. The Remote Control mode is automatically selected
whenever the PSR-310 is turned on. However, if Multi mode has been se­
lected (see below), the Remote Control mode can be re-selected.
To select the Remote Control mode:

Each time 0 is pressed while holding down the REC button, the PSR-310
switches between the Remote Control mode “rc” and the Multi mode “I_
□ The following data is transmitted:
• Velocity data
• Sustain ON/OFF data
• Keyboard performance data
• Program Change messages (Program change num­
bers 00 through 99 correspond to the PSR-310's voice
numbers 01 through 00)
m MIDI START, STOP, and CLOCK messages
•
In Split mode both the left and right-hand keyboard sec­
tions are transmitted over one MIDI channel.
□ The following data is not transmitted:
• Transpose settings
• ACCOMPANIMENT, SONG BOOK, MELODY AND
CHORD MEMORY performance data.
• Performance data from the left-hand section of the key­
board in Single Finger or Fingered mode.
ij The following data can be received:
• Performance data for the Accompaniment in Single Fin­
ger or Fingered mode
• Sustain ON/OFF data (The panel setting will not change)
• Program Change data (Program change numbers OT
through 99 correspond to the PSR-310's voice numbers
01 through 00)
• MIDI START, STOP, and CLOCK messages. (External
CLOCK messages override the PSR-310 TEMPO but­
tons; if you try to operate them “EC" will appear on the
MULTI DISPLAY If after that no other external CLOCK
messages are sent, the PSR-310 settings will become
effective.)
• In Split mode, different voices can be produced in the
left and right-hand sections of the keyboard when the
appropriate MIDI messages are sent over separate
channels.
□ When the PSR-310 is set to Single Finger or Fingered
mode the PSR-310’s accompaniment can be controlled
from another MIDI device.

The Multi mode should be used when the PSR-310 is to be used as a tone
generator, for example, receiving data from a second MIDI device. In this
mode the PSR-310 can receive on multiple MIDI channels, each channel
corresponding to a different voice.
